American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose, they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George 111. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Creeks and as a reward for her heroism was made "Beloved Woman" of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’ s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the white settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.
What is the main point the author makes in the passage?
选项
A、Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.
B、At the time of the Revolution, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had little power.
C、Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution, American Indians lost their land.
D、The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.
答案
C
解析
此题考查对作者写作目的的理解。文章第三句就阐明了作者的观点:无论印第安人支持哪一方——殖民主义者还是英格兰,他们都将失去自己的领土与独立。后面的部分都是举例来证明这一观点,所以C正确。A意为“印第安人与英格兰并肩作战而获得了他们的土地”,与文章内容不符;B和D都不是文章的主要观点。
